We tabulated the rate of fatal crashes; the percentage of fatalities involving alcohol, speeding, or hit and run; and the rate of seatbelt use (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Then we factored in the average number of years between accidents (Allstate) and laws on cellphone use while driving (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and city governments).

Houston gets a big, fat F, as did Austin.

The safest city was St. Paul, Minnesota. Coming in at number three was Boston, and we've driven in Boston and we can only call BS on that one.

FBT is EXACTLY right. One word why this stinking city is worst. ILLEGALS! You take the million or so illegals off the road and I gurantee you things would improve immensly. Now I know all you bleeding hearts will want to argue semantics regarding how many and whom blah, blah but as always you would be wrong.

I wonder what states have real driver's ed. You know, where you're actually instructed on how to drive and the rules of the road, as opposed to mom or dad taking out a few times to parallel park and taking the written test until you pass. And nevermind which states keep raising the speed limits.

Guess, what Houston...check the attitude!! As should most Native Texans. Your driving is the 3rd most dangerous as a State and the city of Houston also ranks 3rd, as far as cities. You people blame non-natives, illegals, etc.. Rubbish, as most dangerous driving Texans are natives, have the "Jesus Fish" on the back of the vehicle, etc.. Inconsiderate, rude, lack all manner of common sense, respect and road law/rules knowledge. My husband and I often comment that the South has more Churches and less Christian like behavior. Disgusting.Adopt manners, common sense, respect for your fellow citizen, PROPER driving and maybe you will come close to being a great city/state.

Finally, Dallas get it's due. I lived and drove in that city for several years and recognized the imminent (and insurance) risks while driving there. That said, H-town drivers are only marginally better...possibly because I'm driving here now.

Wonder how many of these bad drivers have a valid Texas Driver License, current vehicle registration and/or inspection and real insurance? And, wonder how many are actually from here? Yeah, I said it ... bring-it beatches!!!
